Chapter 459: A Digged Pit
One by one, the men under Togi Takayoshi climbed to the castle tower along the rope, and then, they made a successful gesture to Togi Takayo under the castle, which means clearly, a qiē is normal and safe!
And Togi Takayo, who was standing below nervously staring at the situation above, looked at those successful gestures, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the whole person also relaxed, because, as long as he successfully climbed up, it was equivalent to half the success of the entire rescue operation.
After these Japanese soldiers climbed the tower, the changing of the guard of the Taiping army continued, which created favorable conditions for their departure, so this part of the Japanese army quickly packed up their equipment, and then left the tower as fast as possible and dived into the city.
This is the plan of action that Togi Takayoshi and the others have agreed with in advance, and they will act in batches after entering the city, and then collect them at the place where Takasugi Shinsaku is being held.
And Togi Takayo rushed to the castle tower with the last group of Japanese troops, and when they rushed to the castle tower, the Taiping army's changing of the guard was still not completed, so the Taiping army had no time to take care of them anymore, so they took advantage of this gap and easily floated into the city.
And just as Togi Takayoshi led people to sneak into the city, the Taiping soldiers who participated in the changing of the guard were finally in place, but the moment they completed the change of guard, they seemed to unconsciously glance at the place where Togi Takayoshi and the others landed, and there seemed to be something hidden in their eyes.
After Togi Takayoshi led his men into the city, he sneaked to the place where Takasugi Jinsaku was being held with ease and familiarity with Kaejo, and by the time they arrived at their destination, the other three groups had already arrived for a long time.
The next thing is to count the number of people, there should be thirty-nine people, but there are thirty-eight people, plus Togi Takayo, one is not much, one is not much, just enough to count, all of them are there.
See everyone arrive safely. Togi Takayo's confidence is getting stronger and stronger, strictly speaking, their first step can be regarded as safely completed, but the next road is the key, if this key road is right, then rescuing Takasugi Jinsaku will not have too big a problem.
So, this next road, Togi Takayo needs to be extra careful.
And they appeared outside a very remote courtyard, this courtyard is a very inconspicuous courtyard, from the outside, this courtyard is no different from the other courtyards around, there is no difference, but the real difference is that there is an important person imprisoned in this courtyard, Takasugi Shinsaku.
And the purpose of Togi Takayoshi and the others sneaking here is to rescue Takasugi Shinsaku from this small courtyard and bring it back to Seoul safely.
According to the information obtained, this small courtyard looks ordinary from the outside, but it has a university inside. There are not only elite soldiers guarding it, but also a lot of organs, if you don't have a careful plan and a detailed map of the courtyard as a guide, you can only break in recklessly, and it can only be a dead word in the end.
And it is precisely these two most important prerequisites that Togi Takayo has in place, that is, Togi Takayo has no obstacles to enter the courtyard safely.
Taking a deep breath, Takayo Togi gave the order to surprise everyone.
The thirty-eight men were still divided into four groups of ten each, and Togi's group was nine, who would infiltrate the courtyard from four different directions and then evade the elite soldiers guarding the area. Then he rescued Takasugi Shinsaku with lightning speed.
And this whole process is said to be done in one go, but it is not so easy to implement, any link goes wrong, it will be a waste of all the previous efforts, not only Takasugi Shinsaku will be finished, even these people brought by Togi Takayoshi himself will also die without a place to be buried.
Therefore, Togi Takayo reminded himself to be careful and then be careful, and to ensure that this operation can be completed immediately.
However, he was still very confident in this plan to save people and the people he brought, and before Togi Takayoshi and the thirty-eight people he brought with him, he had already rehearsed the process of saving people at the station in Seoul many times, and almost all the contingencies that might be encountered were considered and simulated. It stands to reason that if they go in this time, that is, draw a scoop according to the gourd, if there is no accident, rescuing Takasugi Jinsaku will be a matter of course.
Under the command of Takayoshi Togi, the four teams quickly took position, then climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, and began to carry out rescue operations as planned.
Because of their thorough preparation, they easily avoided the guards and made their way all the way to the outside of the room where Takasugi Shinsaku was being held, and managed to distract the guards who were guarding outside the room.
Togi ordered three teams to stand guard around the room, and the remaining group followed him, then surrounded the room.
Togi looked around vigilantly again, he felt safe, so he took another deep breath, and then raised his right hand and knocked on the door three times.
These three beats are very rhythmic.
Then, I heard three slight coughs coming from inside the room, which sounded perfectly matched with the three knocks outside.
And hearing these three coughs, Togi Takayo's face, which had been tense, showed a hint of an imperceptible smile, which looked a little weird.
Perhaps knowing that he was a little inexplicable, his smile was quickly put away, his face became stern again, and then he gave an order to the few people around the room to stand guard, and then, he pulled out the sharp blade hanging from his waist and slashed the iron lock on the door.
It can be seen from this that Togi Takayoshi did make a lot of meticulous preparations, for example, he knew that this door was hung with an iron lock, so he carried a sharp blade that sharpened iron like clay with him.
A qiē indicates that this action will be surprisingly smooth.
The door finally opened, and it was opened by Takayoshi Togi's hands.
He walked cautiously inside, and as he went, he took out the flint that he had prepared, and prepared to light the oil lamp in the house, which according to the information obtained, there should be an oil lamp in the house.
At the moment when the oil lamp was lit, Togi Takayoshi saw a man not far from him, with his hair scattered, without saying a word. Sitting in a precarious position, his hair covering his entire face, it was impossible to tell who this person was, but. Togi Takayoshi knew who this person was, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, and then said excitedly, "Takasugi-kun, you have suffered."
Listen to this. This person is none other than Shinsaku Takasugi, whom he wants to save.
The man who was sitting also trembled and stood up when he heard Togi's words. Step by step towards Togi Takayo, you can see it. He was also very excited.
However, just as Togi Takayo stretched out his arms to hug the man, unexpectedly, the man let out a burst of laughter, and only heard a familiar voice ring in his ears: "Togi-kun, it's been a long time."
Hearing this voice, Togi Takayo was stunned for a moment, and then broke out in a cold sweat.
This man is not Shinsaku Takasugi.
They were tricked.
At this critical moment, Togi Takayo's mind was in a hurry, and he was anxious to think about how to deal with it, but the man's movements were faster than his thoughts, and just when Togi Takayoshi wanted to withdraw from this room, a cold dagger was already pressed against his chest, and as long as he dared to move slightly, the result would be blood splattered on the spot.
Takayo Togi has lost his chance.
"Old friend, since you're here, why are you in such a hurry?" The man smiled lightly again and said.
"It's you!" Takayoyo Togi finally remembered who this person was.
"Good memory! Togi-kun, let's meet again." The man praised.
And when Togi Takayoshi knew who the person in front of him was, his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, and he knew that everything was over, because he not only knew this person, but also had a deep impression of him, what an unforgettable one.
"You designed this qiē in advance?" Even if you want to die, you have to die to understand, this is the only thought in Togi Takayo's heart at the moment.
"Yes, it tastes good, what do you think?" There was a hint of pride in the man's words.
It was not in vain to be able to successfully capture a character like Takayo Togi in this play.
Togi Takayo was silent, what could he say when things came to such a point, he could only be silent, of course, there was a trace of anger in the silence, he was angry at the trap set by the Taiping Army for himself, and he was also angry that he had fallen into the trap of others like a fool.
"You don't want to hear about our plans?" The man seemed surprised by Togi's calmness.
Togi nodded, of course he wanted to know.
"Okay, we're old acquaintances, this time I'll be cheaper for you, let you die and understand." The man seemed to be impatient to recount the ins and outs of the play in detail.
Hearing this, whether you want it or not, it seems that Togi Takayo, the audience, is going to be decided. (To be continued......)
